This can be turned around to our favor.

Imagine a daily three hour show where the liberal gets to spout thier ideas out there, for all to see, in broad daylight, then get hammered with logic and reason by the likes of Rush.

It would get the debate out in the open, and they will fail, miserabley, because every one of their ideas fail when put to the test, or have light shined on them.

1’st of all, not a sane soul would listen to a liberal for 3 hours. The radio stations would lose money because of no listeners, so this would force the station to cut back the liberal program to 1 hour. RUSH’s program would have to be cut back to 1 hour also to make a fair balanced listening schedule. This is the goal of the Fairness Doctrine. The liberals know that their constituents are not interested in listening to liberal talk radio. Their goal is to knock off the amount of listening time to conservative talk radio and to destroy the unified audience of the right. Radio stations will go bankrupt if they are made to give equal time to a liberal host because no one will listen to them. The conservatives especially RUSH need to have a plan to get around this Fairness Doctrine, because the it is going to happen.

It absolutely cannot.

The point of the FD isn't to get the liberal viewpoint out, it is to get conservative radio to go belly up. Radio is a business, and depends on advertising revue to operate. With with the resulting decrease in listership that comes with liberal commentators comes a decrease in advertising revenue to the stations. Air America failed as a business because they couldn't raise money, and liberals know this.

The first goal of socialism is to silence what socialists call the "counterrevolution"; that is, to silence the ability of a free society to resist socialism. That is what the Fairness Doctrine is about.
